Just a Friend (song)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Just a Friend is a comedic and romantic hip hop song by rapper Biz Markie, in which he alternates between rap and deliberately off-key singing. In the video for this song, he wore a powdered wig and 18th-century clothing, perhaps to parody the film Amadeus. It was later covered (somewhat more seriously) by Mario.
